America Movil Signs Deal to Take Control of Telekom Austria

Maxico's America Movil is launching a takeover bid for the Telekom Austria Group with secure an agreement with the Austrian government's own holding company IAG. America Movil and ÖIAG have initially signed a shareholders’ agreement to effectively pool their stakes in the telecoms company into a single syndicate.

Long Code in CDMA

Long code  in CDMA is a  chip  sequence which is 2 40  chips long, which repeats every 41.4 days. Its primary purpose is to assist in spreading the signal, to make spread spectrum work more efficiently. The Long code used on the  reverse link  is usually modified using the phone's  ESN  when in a call. See  Long Code Mask .

Fading

Image
FADING in Telecomunication •           The communication between the base station and mobile station in mobile systems is mostly non-LOS. •           The LOS path between the transmitter and the receiver is affected by terrain and obstructed by buildings and other objects. •           The mobile station is also moving in different directions at different speeds. •           The RF signal from the transmitter is scattered by reflection and diffraction and reaches the receiver through many non-LOS paths. This non-LOS path causes long-term and short term fluctuations in the form of log-normal fading and rayleigh and rician fading, which degrades the performance of the RF channel LONG TERM FADING •           Terrain configuration & man made enviro...

(E)GPRS Network Infrastructure How to calculate what •           No. of EGPRS resources used in 1 sector * No. of sectors : 2 x 3 •            No. of time slot/sector * no of time slot used for EDAP :- 2 * 3 = 6 •           So total time slots per site 6 + 6 = 12 •           1 NSEI support 256 time slot with upgrade % as 10 so total no of time slots which can be equipped is 256 - 10% of 256 = 230.4 ~ 230 •           So no. of sites per NSEI is 230/12 = 19.16 ~ 19 •           So no NSEI required / BSC :  100 / 19 = 5.2 +1 (for future use) ~ 6 •           2 NSEI supports 1 BCSU so no. of PCU required : 6/2 = 3 •    ...
